And here’s a little about what’s up on campus this semester:

Band in the Park
What does the Marching Band do during football season when it has a Saturday off? On Sept. 24, the group didn’t travel to Washington, D.C. for the Georgetown game but instead went just a few blocks south and entertained at Columbia College Day at Central Park, a family-friendly event of the Columbia College Alumni Association. With games and pizza!

Concert in the Works
Meantime, the Wind Ensemble has begun rehearsals for its first concert of the 2016-17 year, booked for Sunday, November 20. For more details, watch this space.
